Layer‐by‐Layer Formation of Smart Particle Coatings Using Oppositely Charged Block Copolymer Micelles

Multilayer coatings of colloidal particle substrates (see figure) formed entirely from block copolymer micelles are demonstrated. Such multilayer coatings provide a highly functional organized coating that may have application across a wide range of technology areas, and provide a coating mechanism for controlled loading and release of active materials.
